CASUALTY REPORTING N Korean ship aground off Japan, spilling oil A North Korean cargo ship ran aground off the east coast of Japan yesterday, spilling heavy oil, but damage was limited and there were no reports of injuries among the ship's 21 crew members, authorities said. The 3,144-ton Chil Song carrying 1,200 tons of used tyre strips back to North Korea, ran aground near concrete tidebreakers earlier in the day in coastal waters off Ibaraki, 100 kilometres north of Tokyo, the Japan Coast Guard said. Heavy oil leaked from a fuel tank located at the bottom of the ship and oil patches were spotted 200 metres away from the vessel. Some 100 coast guard officials and local fishermen threw oil absorbing mats and nets around the ship, which was stuck around 300 metres from a nearby fishing port. 'We used thousands of oil mats and the damage was very limited,' said a coast guard official. Two coast guard officials were already inside the North Korean ship to investigate the leak, the official said, adding the ship was not in danger of sinking. He said all the North Korean crew members remained onboard. 'They have enough food and water to last for several weeks,' the official said. After leaving North Korea, the Chil Song arrived in Japan and left a port in Aichi, 250 kilometres west of Tokyo, on Nov 28, and reached Ibaraki late on Wednesday PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 2 12/7/2002

10 AIRCRAFT / AIRPORT NEWS It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence has to confirm that a Royal Navy Harrier T8 crashed at RAF Wittering on the morning of 5 December One of the two crew members aboard suffered fatal injuries. The other has been taken to hospital; his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The officer killed was Lieutenant Commander Martin London MBE QCBA, known throughout the Service as Jack. Aged 43, he was born in Cornwall and had one child. Jack London joined the Royal Navy in 1978, and had enjoyed a distinguished career in the Fleet Air Arm. He was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Bravery in the Air following an incident when his Sea Harrier lost its canopy at high altitude - despite the damage, he landed the aircraft safely. Lt Cdr London was the Royal Navy's most distinguished and experienced serving Sea Harrier pilot, and was a fully qualified instructor on both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. At the time of his death, he was serving with 899 Naval Air Squadron, having recently completed a two year tour with 801 NAS aboard HMS Illustrious. His career had included operational service off Sierra Leone, Iraq and Yugoslavia.The accident will of course be the subject of a full inquiry. Our deepest sympathies are with his family and friends at this very difficult time, and the media are asked to respect their privacy The new low cost airline Hapag Lloyd Express D-AGEN (cn 28100/16) On the very first day of HLX operations, a Boeing B during the first flight arrives from Berlin-Tegel, full of VIP guests and media.
